Beware of Fraud > FAKE PayPal & eBay emails !!!

Often you will notice that you will receive  PayPal or eBay emails asking you to update account information as they are upgrading security ...

NEVER CLICK THE LINK ON THE EMAIL !!!

Instead, log-on to eBay or PayPal from another browser and check your account details. If PayPal or eBay have genuine information requests from  you then they will be shown within your account inbox.

I once made the mistake of clicking a link !!! The fake email was used to capture my user details. Then they hacked in to my account and changed user details so I could not access my account. It took a long time to sort out and was a very worrying time.

I hope you found this guide helpful ... and hopefully the information will help you to be safe and secure online !!!

Please be kind enough to rate this guide below ... THANKS !
